Dedicated Servers Uncovered

Free and paid shared plans are one of the most famous web hosting products on the market.

Tackle the Intense Load Generated by Your Websites with a Dedicated Server

With the dedicated web server hosting service, you lease an entire physical server whose system resources will be used only by your websites. Just like any personal computer, each dedicated server has one or more processors functioning at a specific speed, a particular amount of RAM memory, one or more hard disk drives, etc. A dedicated web hosting server is indeed a computer with hardware intended to tackle heavy load and given software activated on it, such as web server software, PHP and MySQL software, etc., which allows the sites stored on it to be visible on the web.

Managed Dedicated Hosting Services

A dedicated server can be administered either by the hosting company, or by the client, depending on the specific dedicated server package. In either case, the party administering the dedicated web server has access to a software tool to restart it at any particular moment. Management is carried out through a web hosting Control Panel user interface that permits you to monitor the processes running on the server.

Operating Systems for Dedicated Servers

There are different web hosting server OSs such as Windows, FreeBSD, a number of Linux distributions, and so on. Certain hosting suppliers provide dedicated servers utilizing one particular Operating System, whereas others give customers an alternative. MSSQL databases and .NET websites necessitate a Windows web server, for instance, and will not work on a different OS, while PHP and HTML driven sites utilizing MySQL databases will run on any Operating System. Before leasing a dedicated server, check what the web hosting company provides and what the necessities of your website are.

Software Platforms for Dedicated Servers

By default, each dedicated server offers all the software applications required in order to manage a site - a web server, database software (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), PHP software, FTP server software and so on, so the moment you get the hosting server, you can upload your website files and get the site online. Most hosting service providers provide full root access, in other words you can install any software platforms on the dedicated server and modify any settings. Given script-driven software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-installed in order for them to run. Various e-commerce software scripts, for example, involve such a requirement, and being given full server root access to the dedicated server is key for administering a web store. Other web hosting suppliers do not grant complete server root access, but help the client install the needed software - this is the so-called managed hosting solution, as distinguished from the unmanaged web hosting service, which offers root privileges.
